U.S. Mint Sales Report: Gold Sales Are Up

This week’s U.S. Mint sales numbers are in and gold has made a strong showing. The commodity has been strengthening lately, with it’s value per ounce resting consistently above the $1,170 mark in recent days, after falling as low as $1106.30 at the start of October. This upward trajectory caused the Mint to raise its prices on gold coins this week, in keeping with its pricing structure for products composed of precious metals.

The biggest surge in sales this week came from the 2015 American Eagle 1 oz. Gold Proof Coin, which moved an impressive 1,582 units after selling only 3 the week before. This is especially notable considering the fact that the coin currently retails at $1,510 a piece. All of the American Eagle gold Proof coins experienced a significant leap in demand this week.

Mintage limits for the products on the following report can be viewed here.

The following statistics show total sales for the listed items through October 18, 2015. The first numerical column includes information from the Mint’s October 11 report, the second column displays this week’s updated numbers, and the third column tallies the increase in sales over the last week. For more information on any of these items, visit the U.S. Mint’s online product catalog.
